Dying well takes planning

Research shows that the majority of people in Britain have not discussed their end of life wishes or have made any plans for when they die, with only 33% having written a Will.

Studies indicate that having plans in place brings peace and comfort to family and friends at a time of sadness and loss.

But talking about death and dying can be difficult, with many families not knowing how to start these difficult conversations.

Creating Conversations in Croydon Events

Join us for talks, workshops, presentations and Death Cafes within the London Borough of Croydon to help break down the silence around death and give the people of Croydon a voice and to start thinking, talking, planning and recording their wishes.

About the project

The Creating Conversations in Croydon project, commissioned by Croydon CCG, seeks to work with community groups with the aim of helping everyone have a good death by recording their End Of Life Wishes.

The project has specially trained volunteers who seek to encourage local people to feel more comfortable about talking openly about death and dying. After all we only get one chance to have our dying wishes met, which is why this project is so vital.

Our volunteers give talks, workshops, presentations and facilitate Death Cafes within the London Borough of Croydon to help break down this silence around death and give the people of Croydon a voice and to start thinking, talking, planning and recording their wishes.

Spending a short time now thinking about what you’d like to happen on the event of your death, writing your will and discussing your funeral wishes with your family can allow you to get back to the important things in life like spending time with family and friends, building good memories and even plan a bucket list.
